Commentary
Lord Krishna addresses Arjuna, who is hailed as the best among the Bharatas, and directs his attention to the topic of “relinquishment” or “renunciation” (tyāga). Lord Krishna indicates that he will explain the threefold division of renunciation, which is considered to be definitive and significant in spiritual teachings.
By emphasizing the significance of this threefold division, Lord Krishna encourages Arjuna, and by extension, all seekers of spiritual wisdom, to pay careful attention and be receptive to the forthcoming teachings on the subject of renunciation.
